Museu do Sertão

The museum spans 1,045 square meters and contains over three thousand objects representing various aspects of life in northeastern Brazil.

Established in 1973 as part of the Diocese of Petrolina's fiftieth anniversary celebrations, the museum underwent major renovations before reopening in 2017.

The collection includes artifacts from indigenous tribes, traditional crafts, religious items, and personal belongings of regional figures like Lampião and Dom Malan.

Visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Sundays from 9 AM to 2 PM, with free admission.

The museum features a gallery dedicated to Ana das Carrancas, who created distinctive clay sculptures with open eyes to honor her blind husband.
